YOE 3 yr in Amazon Retail team.

Twitter non core team offers 270k TC

Current with 220k with Amazon

Early Career shall I move to Twitter for higher pay or shall I move to an AWS team for more learning.

Would I overestimate the learning I would get from AWS?
Also, would I underestimate the learning from Twitter?

Both in Seattle.

Please help on suggestions.

Would it be easier to become a SDE3 in Twitter compared to Amazon?

How does Twitter sound on your resume compared to AWS ?

    I am out of Twitter. But I definitely miss Twitter. You will be challenged on your job, have best work life balance, good money, and most importantly twitter cares for employees like you are a family member. I left because of stock cliff after 4 years, however now Twitter has started giving refreshers too. So that won’t be a problem any more.

      When did Twitter start with refreshers? That’s a complaint I’ve seen on here a lot. I’m mid interview cycles with them now.

    Twitter is a shit company, joining would be equivalent to a career suicide. Go to AWS and learn something, join some other SaaS company with your skills.

    Moved from AWS to Twitter a year ago. Work at AWS was more challenging and interesting. Everything else is better at Twitter.
